I'm pretty new to the AR world, but I think I've got the basics down pretty good. I've recently built up an AR and noticed that if I chamber a round and then remove it without firing there are small scratches on the bullet. I was going to blame my barrel mfg, but then I checked my buddies Bushmaster Stainless Varmint Special, and his markings were worse. This has got to be affecting accuracy. Is this a feed ramp thing, or a mag issue? I'm using bushmaster mags and it doesn't matter if there are 20 in the mag or 1. The scratches are light, you have to be looking for them to know they're there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I tried taking pics, but I don't have a camera with the ability to pick up the marks.
